The green Ireland, the "Emerald Isle", is one of the least populated countries in Europe and it is a land rich in legends. Topics in this country are very close to reality: the people are warm and friendly, always willing to share a beer in a pub, where there is often live music, and it rains almost constantly, which gives the island a lush green. It is a country to visit slowly, wandering through agricultural landscapes and along its long and rugged coastline.

Ireland was never colonized by the Romans. It passed from the Iron Age to the Viking era, so their Celtic roots have survived over the years. This is clearly seen in its folklore and its traditional music.

The most visited areas are those of the west coast. The northern part is characterized by spectacular peninsulas, lakes and glens of Donegal. The west coast and its islands are towering cliffs and rugged mountains. In south we remark seascapes and in north, the main attraction is the curious basaltic formation of Giant's Causeway.

In Dublin youth and tradition are mixed. It is a capital of nice size, with decaying Georgian squares and vibrant pubs. Belfast, a victim of bad press, is as vital as Dublin, while Cork, Limerick and in particular Galway fight for a respectable third place.

The rest of the country is relatively flat, with several rivers that cross and many lakes and pastures. The west coast has a lot of cliffs and it has the highest point of the island (1041 meters).

In Ireland also highlight many castles and fortresses, that hide all sorts of secrets, stories of ghosts and murders, and other less morbid traditions.
